J-Mart PC: Iceman, Captain Marvel (Carol)

[Thorpacolypse]

Hello loyal J-Mart Customers!

We're moving our playable builds from the main J-Mart to this new location for easier shopping (and stocking). If all goes well, we'll start stocking in a couple of days, but for now, I just wanted to get the space reserved while I had the chance. These zoning laws on the Tank can be a real beeatch...

I'm not only going to be stocking just PL10/150 characters, but also some higher and lower level 15 pts per rank versions as well for all your playable build needs. Heck, I might even post a few tests just to see how the builds handle. And if you use them, please let the management know how they perform so that we can make sure we can continue to maintain the mediocre quality standards J-Mart is know for!

As always, thanks for shopping at J-Mart!

Ah, what the heck, let's rolling! Without further ado, The J-Mart PC Superstore is kicking things off with the first item for the shelves and as always, you pretty much HAVE to start with this item from our Metropolis warehouse!


What do you do when faced by the impossible? You DO the impossible. And that's what we're going to do. - Superman

Toughness +15, Fortitude +14, Will +6

COMPLICATIONS:
Identity: Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the
Daily Planet
Power Loss: Superman loses his powers and his Sta is reduced to 3 under a red sun, like that of Krypton, and other effects draining or interfering with the energies of the yellow sun can deprive him of his powers
Relationships: Superman’s closest relationship is with his wife, Lois Lane. Other important people in his life include his mother, Martha Kent, Supergirl, Superboy, Krypto and friends and co-workers Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, and Catherine “Cat” Grant
Responsibility: Superman feels a strong sense of responsibility to use his powers for the benefit of all
Weakness: Superman is as vulnerable to magic as anyone else. His loses his ranks of Protection against magical attacks
Weakness: Kryptonite...Its radiation saps the Strength and powers of Kryptonians, leaving them impaired, disabled, and eventually debilitated in terms of Strength and power effects. Long-term exposure (usually a matter of minutes, less for a large enough amount) imposes the dying condition and may lead to death

Abilities 56 + Skills 10 (20 ranks) + Advantages 6 + Powers 70 + Defenses 8 = 150 / 150

Comments: In the words of Alexander Luthor, for some reason, it always starts with Superman.

I'm starting the PCs by importing several from J-Mart before I start working up some more. I had done several a while back, then I shifted to more builds for my personal setting but I guess seeing several RTP builds recently got me back in the mood to whip up some more myself. I can already see some things I need to tweak with this, but I'd like to get a few more posted first.

I was looking at your superman build, and was scratching my head a little trying to understand it. I know you have some arrays in there, but I guess a "Dynamic Extra" is some kind of house rule? But its a little hard to figure out which ones are the alternate effects, but I suppose the cost you have listed, designates that somewhat?

[Arthur Eld]

Its just that in 3E, Extras can either be what they're usually called in 2E-+1 per rank extras like Autofire (Multiattack in 3E), Penetrating, increasing the Range or Duration of a power, that sort of thing.

But, it also covers what were called Power Feats in 2E. So Dynamic is an Extra, not a Power Feat in 3E.

As you'd expect from trying to get Superman to be 150 points, especially in 3E, you need a lot of Dynamic powers.

Couldn't have said it better myself. You can just state the Dynamic as Dynamic, but it seemed easier to me to make it an Extra, which it technically is within that Alternate Effect Array. Sorry if it was confusing.

We've got another J-Mart PC for Aisle 1!


People think it's an obsession. A compulsion. As if there were an irresistible impulse to act. It's never been like that. I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either. - Batman

Responsibility: Batman sees Gotham as "his city" and protects it fiercely
Rivalry: It’s more Ollie’s side than his, but he has a bit of a rivalry with Green Arrow. And he and Hal Jordan don’t see eye to eye often, either
Secret Identity: He has a secret identity of Bruce Wayne

Abilities 68 + Skills 38 (76 ranks) + Advantages 23 + Powers 0 + Defenses 21 = 150 / 150

Comments: I’m not 100% sold on my first rub at a PL10/150 pt Batman but I think with some refining I can get him where I want. He's not anywhere near Batgod level , but I think this is a close take on Batman Year One. I even got a Batmobile light in there for fun, even if it's basically just a nice sedan with smokescreen...

I thought about going with MK’s route of giving him a variable power to allow him to shift between his different Batgod incarnations, but for now I am going with a standard costumed adventurer setup, noting that he would increase things in certain areas as he acquires points. And I actually plan to play this, and the other JLA and/or Avengers PCs that I am working on and building them up like PCs, adding points for successful tests/fights and such.

Clean Up 4/12/13: Fixed up Batman a bit while I was in the PC mood.

Enemy: Circe, Cheetah, Doctor Psycho, Giganta

Responsibility: To Themiscrya and the world

Abilities 72 + Skills 14 (28 ranks) + Advantages 10 + Powers 41 + Defenses 13 = 150 / 150

Comments: With Wonder Woman going to PL10/150 pts, I really had to think about what to include. I almost dropped the Lasso completely for cost, but it’s such a part of her character, I couldn’t do it. But by making the effects Close range, it saved a good amount of points and being able to get the Lasso around someone at 20 ft isn’t too bad of a tradeoff, I suppose.

No worries, I'm so used to reading things in a way like 2E.. Its still so weird, I mean i have the 3E book on pdf.. But I have the most difficult time , sitting down to read on my PC, lol. And I just do most of my building on hero lab, relying on it till fill me on the rules, half the time. But I am slowly trying to familiarize myself with the system.

And I was looking at Wonderwoman build. And I thought using move object for a lasso effect was rather intriguing. I was thinking in a case like that, you could add a one direction (towards you) flaw on it ?

Okay fine, no jokes for Diana... But you forgot a joke for Batman!
